They will cover a variety of resources each unit should be utilizing. In addition, a Unit Facebook Ad Guide can be found online as well.
The council will also send out a Fall Recruitment Plan with tools to help units, including yard sign advertising, social media advertising, and school video ads. For more information, contact Field Director Kelly Meacham at kelly.meacham@scouting.org.
Help parents and potential Scouts in your area find you. Make sure your unit is on www.BeAScout.org.
Who can update the pin? The Key 3 of the unit — committee chair, chartered organization representative and unit leader - click Organization Manager in my.Scouting.
What’s the process for doing so? A step-by-step guide is available online at this link. Look for the picture called “Setting Up Your Unit’s BeAScout Pin.”
What has changed? Pin management is no longer in “Legacy Tools.” It has been updated with a new fresh look and easier navigation. Everything you need to set up the pin is in one tool, meaning no more moving back and forth between tools or pages.
